Random Clara Pics

Here's a random assortment from past and present.
Finally home from the hospital after Clara was born!

 My new baby sister

Let me say that she did not loved being squished into the side of the chair.

Here's how to stick out your tongue.

Loving her new dress that Aunt Beth made!  She especially likes to seek out the ties on her shoulders and suck on them.

Clara!

She's almost 6 weeks but I figure most people who read this already know about her.  Clara Mae was born August 2 at 6:31 p.m., weighing in at 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches.  By the end of week 1 she weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and she was 9 lbs by week 2.  I haven't weighed her since but judging by the rolls of fat accumulating on her she's gaining well.  Labor was great and quick (we were at the hospital for less than an hour before she came out) and we've adjusted to life at home with three kids.  It seems so strange to say we are a family of 5.  She's been sleeping well lately, only getting up once a night, which is a big help to me.  Here are a few pictures of her while we were still at the hospital.  Tjabe and Maggie love her by the way and are being very helpful.



And here's a video from the other night.  Sam is the one making the noises, which I find kind of freaky but Clara seems to be amused by it.
